PER CURIAM:
Sheron Thornton appeals the magistrate judge’s * order granting summary judgment
to her former employer on her claims that she was retaliated against for opposing race and
age discrimination, in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended,
42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e to 2000e-17 (2018), and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act
of 1967, 29 U.S.C. §§ 621-634 (2018). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible
error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the magistrate judge. Thornton v.
Dep’t of Pub. Safety & Corr. Servs., No. 1:16-cv-03028-ADC (D. Md. Mar. 11, 2019). We
dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately
presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
AFFIRMED
*
This case was decided by a magistrate judge with the parties’ consent pursuant to
28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (2018).
